The following information was provided by … The following information was provided by the licensee via email:</br>On May 18, 2022, at approximately 1450 (EDT), an electrical switch for the Criticality Accident Alarm System (CAAS) legacy speakers was noted to be out of its normal position. A functional redundant speaker system is installed in the main processing plant and laboratory. As a consequence of the switch being out of position, in the highly unlikely event that the CAAS had actuated, the alarm would not have been annunciated in areas outside of the main processing area and laboratory where there are no redundant speakers. Compliance was restored at approximately 1500 (EDT) when the switch was placed back in its normal position. The system was subsequently tested and confirmed to be operational. The most recent audibility test of the speaker system had been performed on May 13, 2022, at approximately 1100 (EDT). The licensee notified the NRC Resident Inspector on May 18, 2022, at approximately 1625 (EDT). There were no actual nuclear safety consequences. The potential consequence was that, in the event of a nuclear criticality accident, evacuation could have been delayed for those personnel outside of the main processing area where redundant speakers have not been installed.edundant speakers have not been installed. +
